Not like UConn has ever had a punt blocked and returned for a TD.I hope our strategy is to punt on first down the first time we get the ball. I would think that not turning it over would be such a boost for our offensive confidence that the game would all go fine from there.
At least that hasn't happened so far this season, but now that you bring it up, if it does, I think you should be hunted down and forced to re-watch tapes of the South Florida game...Not like UConn has ever had a punt blocked and returned for a TD.

I know we are 1-4, but I sure hope its an encouraging 1-4 for greater things to come. Like HCBD states, there are so many underclass men playing and starting. There are going to be mistakes made ( as a uconn fan- I was optimistic and hoped that they wouldn't happen). We'll probably miss a bowl next year too, but the foundation is set- the concrete has been poured and now we're starting to build our 4,000 square foot colonial house. Last year was not an encouraging 3-9 team. 2 years ago was not an encouraging 5-7. 3 years ago was not an encouraging 5-7 team. We will be good in 2 years and for years to come after that finally! #IBELIEVE #BLEEDBLUE
I'm not trying to pick on the author, but what are they ready to set the tone for?
We're 1-4, the tone has been set. It's time to change the tune.
Somewhere on a Tulane board, someone just posted the same thing with the names reversed.Tulane sucks. If UConn avoids self-inflicted wounds, it should win this game.

On side kick wtf!!!! Go for itI'll settle for kicking off to start the game.
I don't typically put a whole lot of stock in the star ratings as they only mean a combination of a couple things 1) a 4 or 5 star recruit is more polished coming out of high school. 2) A 4 or 5 star recruit is so because of the perception of the programs recruiting him. Stars go out the window once a player crosses the sideline. That said, many UConn players in the past did not cross that sideline until they were 19 or 20 (i.e. they redshirted and used the extra year as an opportunity to develop), so by the time they hit the game field they grew into a high 3, 4 star recruit.
Diaco doesn't have that luxury this year. For whatever reason, players did not develop under the former regime and Diaco is legitimately throwing boys out there to play against men. Diaco isn't the only one learning on the job.
